I learn by playing... and right now I am learning ray tracing... here's a science fictional rocketship armada I did tonight (I grew up loving 1950s SF, still do . ).

That should be enough rockets for just about ANYBODY on this forum!

lol nice, maybe you can start an insurance... "if the earth is in danger.. we'll rocket you to a save place" I'm sure in reality.. A lot neurotic afraid people will wanne pay thousands of us$ for such an insurance

But, er, I would be careful about jumping on rockets under those circumstances having read science fiction writer C. M. Kornbluth's classic 1951 story "The Marching Morons." In it, to combat rampant overpopulation on earth, people are offered a free vacation--I think it was on Venus. Of course, the rockets were just dropped into the sun, alleviating the overpopulation thing. As the story ends, the guy who planned all this is being forced onto one of the rockets.
